SEOUL, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) – North Korea has carried out a public execution of people for violating the country’s COVID-19 regulations, a South Korean human rights white paper showed Wednesday.

A North Korean defector who arrived in South Korea last year testified about the public execution, according to the white paper published by the Korea Institute for National Unification, a state-run think tank.

Still, it did not elaborate on the details of the public execution, such as when and how it took place, due to concerns about possible reprisals against the North Korean defector’s family members and relatives who remain in the North.

    how convenient it is that their “witness” can’t even elaborate on it because “fear of repercussions” lmao. they basically can make up any story, force someone to say it’s true but don’t elaborate more because “fear of repercussions”.
